Re: ps2pdf and LaTeX's seminar style

["Pedro I. Sanchez" <pedro.i.sanchez@altavista.net>]

I do this with XFig. Open a new document and import your landscape PS
file using the "picture" tool (the photo camera button). When doing this
use any picture size you want. You'll get a dialog where you can browse
and pick up the desired file. Just before clicking "done" click "use
original size" on the bottom left. You now have your PS picture with the
original size into the XFig canvas.

Select portrait mode from the "view" menu (or press alt-c) and then
export the file (alt-x) to PDF.

It works for me.
